Lexington KY Rental market

[Brandon Castillo]

Hi everyone,

I just bought my first duplex and plan to househack and rent one side out! I was wondering if anyone has any idea what the rental market is like in Lexington KY. How is everyone’s rentals doing? My duplex is by the summit and I am hoping to rent out one side that has 2bed/1bath for about $775 a month but as my first one, I don’t know if that is a good price point or if I need to go higher or lower.

Also was wondering how timing might affect how long it takes to get someone in to rent as it will not be available until mid-october!

Thanks!
